With everything happening over in Haiti, it made me think about the 1985 song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie for USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa) efforts. Once again…I am a child of the EIGHTIES! So, obviously, I grew up loving this song.

It was released on March 7, 1985 and sold over 20 million units and raised over $63 million for aid in Africa. With artists like Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Diana Ross, Willie Nelson and so many others, it is by far the best single of all time. If you were born in the 90's or later you may not even know about this song but "We Are The World" had a major impact on the lives of many at the time…including myself. Enjoy…
